2005 Boilermaker Regional

[Amanda Morrison]

Hey guys! I keep seeing all the other regionals already starting their threads... what about the Boilermaker Regional this year? I am VERY excited about it. The regional is from March 17th - 19th next year.

There is some serious competition going on, and who knows what teams are on the waiting list. There are 8 different states represented so far... even from Georgia and North Dakota! There are also seven different colleges and university teams listed. There is a list of teams below - a lot of FIRST legends and recognizable names.

I'd like to know your thoughts and comments on this regional - what you think about it, what expectations you have, etc.
